pyuvsim (and maybe one day, real telescopes!) can produce data from lunar surface. pyuvdata should have a way to understand that telescopes are not on the earth (extra keyword "world"...
Nsources for sky-based calibration is a useful concept but doesn’t really capture everything we want. We should make sure that this and several other sky-optional parameters really capture the full-provenance...
cal_type unknown is not useful and should probably be removed. Can just use None if initializing a blank object. We can move "unknown" to cal_style.
A new file format to supplement/replace calfits. Will also make partial i/o come more naturally. Should wait until the UVCal rework milestone is finished.
In general, further work is required for tandem/hybrid calibration that combines sky and redundant. Need to determine what parameters are required. Or more generally, any iterative calibration is harder to...
sky_field should not be required for sky style calibrations. Maybe should be an RA/dec in addition to (or instead of) of string.
x_orientation keyword might need some adaptation to support arrays where the dishes steer/rotate.
Both quality_array and total_quality_array on UVCal are used, but both should be optional.
Should use UVFlag to support flags in general. Flags in a UVCal object should indicate a calibration solution that is not to be used; they are not a way to...
time_array should be used, but time_range should be replaced by an integration_length-like array that defines what range of times the solution applies to. This will require some work on uvcalibrate...
